I've been a fan since 1973 following concerts up and down the Northeast coast. I will be seeing Chuck in Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Blue Note Jazz Cafe in New York city and Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, Conn, all planned for this summer. There are no words for Chuck's music he just takes you there.

The first time I heard [of] Chuck was when "Doin' Everything with You" was in heavy rotation at an L.A. radio station. Its/his appeal was immediate - I went out and bought "Feels So Good" and everything else I could find of his (some great pre-Feels So Good albums out there!!!). I'm a former string bassist and cellist, and play keyboards and trumpet/flugelhorn. Chuck writes such beautiful string and brass arrangements, I love hearing the Rhodes elec. piano in his compositions, and Chuck's flugelhorn sound compelled me to go out and buy myself a Yamaha professional flugelhorn. In fact, everything I pick up my flugel, I like warming up on "Doin' Everything With You." Keep up the great work, Chuck. You will always have a fan in me. Herbie, So. Calif., USA.

I met Chuck Mangione several years ago at The Cozy in Indianapolis. My band was playing a gig there and Mr. Mangione was in town for White River Festivities as well as a Colts game earlier in the day. He had performed at both events. (As well as on the Jerry Lewis telethon the next day. This was the same year he appeared on King of the Hill later that summer.)
He asked to sit-in with the band and we graciously accepted. While waiting to start, Mr. Mangione looked at me and I said, "What would you like to play?" and he replied, "Do you know my song?" To which I replied, "do you mean the one by Elton John?"
He just looked disgusted and turned away. Little did I know at the time that he meant his song "Feels So Good."
Now that's an un-smooth moment. :)

Mangione fan from way back, God I love the stuff. Nothing like it. Can't say enough about it. It's beyond words. It should be it's own brand new music genre. No one compares. Chuck is THE MAN ! I smiled BIG ! ThankX Chuck ! Thanks for sharing your gift with all of us !

Im 43 now, loved the power of Chuck's music since I first heard him play FSG on I believe the Donahue show (I think) when I was home sick from school. I've been lucky enough to have seen him a few times, and meet him. I am very proud that my daughter loves his stuff too, if fact, she has all my cd's in her room.She loved seeing him too. I had a pbs soundstage from the 80's which I wore out on vhs. It broke and I would love a copy of that again. My prize posession, is a Live at HB album signed by Chuck, Charles, Grant and James,Chris was not there. Thanks Chuck for staying out there and giving this great music to us!

Love Ya Chuck...You made one of my July 4ths wonderful, in Fort Worth, Texas.
But I often wonder, whatever happened to Esther Satterfield? I loved you and her playing and singing together.

Hi there! Great site for anyone who loves this guy's music. Been a fan in Australia for over thirty years now! Glad to see his music is still being appreciated. To all those who still get to see him live - I hope you enjoy it. It's been a long time since he came down under! Keep up the good work.

It's really a bright spot of my day to check the site. I may be the oldest CM fan. I heard him in June of 1971 as a Trombone Player of a group I was in and I listened to "Friends and Love". I was instantly a FAN. Thank you LL for your work and love for our Hero. Michael

After checking the discography i must say it's a shame that some releases are out of print or never been released on CD yet.

Love the site...great job! So glad I found it. I've been a huge fan since '77 when I started high school band. Just recently got reconnected with his music about 3 years ago. Bought a flugelhorn in Sept '06 and I'm hooked! Looking forward to getting into the groups and catching up.

This is pretty much THE best site for Chuck Mangione stuff on the net. I can't tell you how much Mangione is on this thing. It rocks hard core.
And thanks Leather for making this great site.

Thanks for hosting a "friendly" forum. I have either belonged to or visited many a forum full of profanity, nasty arguments, and know-it-alls. It's a pleasure to belong here.

Thank You Leather for having this site for all of us Mangione fans can hang out at!
